University of Miami-Jackson Health System Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a large, university-affiliated academic PM&R program spanning Jackson Memorial Hospital, the Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center, UHealth Tower, the Miami VA, and Mount Sinai Medical Center, giving residents exposure across public safety-net, VA, and private/academic settings within one training block. The program is procedurally rich, emphasizing competency in joint, soft tissue, ultrasound-guided, spine and spasticity injections and electrodiagnostic testing, supported by dedicated ultrasound, manual medicine, neurotoxin, and interventional spine courses. Research infrastructure is substantial through institutional ties to The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, with a developing PM&R translational research institute and formal research training built into the curriculum, alongside encouraged conference presentation (with financial support). The program explicitly prepares residents for multiple pathways—academic medicine, subspecialty fellowship (its own brain injury, cancer, and spinal cord injury fellowships), or private practice—reflecting a broad, flexible career orientation rather than a single dominant track.
